Guns, what guns?

Since December 2012, guns have been flying off the shelves as if Hitler‘s panzers have been spotted crossing the Canadian border in force backed up by the Soviet paratroopers from Red Dawn(the good one, not the new one). According to the FBI, in January 2013 more than 2.4 million requests for firearms purchase background checks were sent through their NICS system. This works out to about one gun sale every 1.5 seconds. Of course, you can argue that just because a check is done doesn’t mean a gun is sold, but this is counterbalanced by the fact that multiple guns can be sold for each check performed.

Politics and Gun control. When your up for reelection and your pResident makes it tough and in some cases really tough by pushing an agenda unlinked, despised and wrong..Your going to do what you have to, to protect your cushy job as a Senator..

Film.com offers the most over the top reaction, suggesting the remake shouldn’t be on the screen at all.

“Red Dawn” is one of the rare cases where a movie isn’t just poor, it is inadvisable. It is even, perhaps, irresponsible given the current political climate … The unfortunate thing is that some viewers may be naive to think that the movie’s scenario is rooted in some sort of realism. While I like to look down my nose at such rubes just as much as the next guy, perhaps there are some large-ish budget movies that just shouldn’t be made.
